Not only since I wrote, but since I have heard birds in the morning! Which is what really promted me to come back and make sure there is written proof the today (yes Valentine's Day blah blah ick...) I heard birds singing this morning. This means spring is on its way! Ahh the warm sun and wonderful weather! I'm soo excited! I love spring and summer I love the weather!!! It is no longer frightful! Suck it Santa your season is over! (ok well not offically but I want spring!)
On another note (as my brain is all jumbled with all sorts of things so everything is out of order) NEWS EVERYONE! This Lent I have decided to fast, I wanted to do a fasting expirement and since Lent was coming up I figured that it would be a good time period to set this expierment on. I am still setting up all the rules and regulations I must follow on this fast since I have to be careful because I have an active and busy schedule and I don't want to be unable to function. I am thinking the best way to do this is that although I am using a Christian time frame I need to bring in the Muslim fasting rule that during the day I am not allowed to eat but when the sun is down I can. However I have decided that I will only be allowed to eat on certain days (perhaps once a week) and this meal must be all natural foods (no processed junk for me!). To prepare for this, I have started fasting every other day and this Thursday it shall be bumped to fasting for two days, the next week I will fast for three days and so on until March 9th when Lent begins and so does the fasting expirement. I am excited not only to see how my body reacts but also to see if I can basically reboot my system. If I take away all those bad foods for 40 days will I still crave them when its over? Will I be able to break the habit of looking for ice cream and chocolate instead of an apple? CAN I make my brain listen more to what my body needs instead of what advertising tells me to eat? The hardest part of the fast will be giving up coffee. I don't want to but if I consistantly rely on over-drinking coffee to make up for the hunger in stomach I will not learn anything except another dependence and addiction. This. Is. Going. To. Be. Tough. Especially when I will be home for spring break and it will be so tempting to eat out a lot. One thing I have not yet decided on is alcohol consumption. I don't drink much alcohol as is but I don't want to cut out going out with friends. Of course I can go out and choose not to drink, but it is very hard to do. hmm I will have to ponder this.
For now I must get back to life...sigh...
